Sam's Scrapbook 4Sam Dalal... I had visited his website martinsmagic.com, but had no idea of the depth and scope of his history project, chronicling thousands of quality magic items, magazines, catalogs and data, with photos, videos and reference links to drool over, with a thoroughness never seen before.
When I got out of college in 1968, magic was for me a hobby, and a source of income to pay some of the bills. I was unaware of most magic shops and dealers, and magic magazines. As a performer, (in addition to a routine desk job) I used to perform in a Cabaret at Trincas (one of the "in" spots for the younger crowd... | $12 to wish listPDF |

Fundamental TechniquesRoberto GiobbiThis is the first lesson from Giobbi's Card College 1 & 2 Personal Instruction. It is made available free of charge so that you can experience the style of Giobbi's teaching and decide if you want to invest in the full course.
I personally think there is no better teacher of card magic alive today. Giobbi's style can at times be detail orientated, but then again if you want to reach the higher rungs of cardmanship, or cardwomanship, you need to pay attention to the details. Giobbi will take you by the hand and lead you through what can sometimes look like an impenetrable forest of moves, sleights, and techniques that look impossible... | ★★★★★ $0 to wish listMP4 (video) |

Conjurer DickProfessor HoffmannThis is a lovely story of a boy wizard growing up to become a conjurer. While this is not autobiographical, Angelo Lewis clearly incorporated aspects of his own experience and life into this novel. For example, one of his teachers of card sleight-of-hand, M. Charlier, makes an appearance as Monsieur Ledoyen. This was the first book that had his pseudonym, Professor Hoffmann, as well as his real name, Angelo J. Lewis, on the cover.
Interesting for magicians is that every trick that features in this novel is explained. While the explanations are not very detailed, they are enough to reveal... | ★★★★★ $6 to wish listPDF |
Homing CardMatteo FilippiniMatteo Filippini presents his personal study on the Francis Carlyle Homing Card.
Starting from the splendid Carlyle version, which appeared on the historical Stars Of Magic, through Roberto Giobbi's Homing Card Plus, from the second volume of Card College, Matteo offers his vision on this great card magic effect.
The Homing Card is certainly one of the few effects with playing cards that are well suited to different situations: close-up, parlour, TV, theatre...
The routine has been divided into several phases and analyzed down to the smallest detail. In addition some historical notes and a rich bibliography.
